Transpetro has been at the forefront of the oil, gas, ethanol and biofuels transportation and storage industry. One of the most important advances being made in the company is related to corrosion monitoring, a fundamental aspect in the safety and efficiency of its operations. In a recent interview, Carlos Alexandre, a Senior Engineer in Transpetro’s Pipeline and Corrosion Department, shared details about the innovations that are transforming the company’s approach to this challenge.
Advancement in non-intrusive corrosion monitoring equipment
One of the topics highlighted by Carlos Alexandre was the significant progress in non-intrusive corrosion monitoring equipment. This equipment allows Transpetro to perform a detailed assessment of infrastructures without the need to interrupt operations. Carlos highlighted how this technology has come a long way in recent years, which greatly facilitates monitoring work and improves safety in pipeline networks.
Until now, the company has been using traditional equipment for corrosion monitoring, however, with the implementation of these innovative systems, the company expects to optimize operational efficiency and reduce the risks associated with infrastructure wear and tear.
Upcoming events in Brazil and South America
Carlos also commented on upcoming events in the region, which will be key to share advances and learn about new technologies within the corrosion industry. He highlighted two important events to be held in Brazil, Intercor in São Paulo in July and Rio Pipeline in September. Both events will bring together experts from across South America and provide a platform to discuss corrosion and other developments related to energy logistics.
These events are fundamental not only for the development of new technologies, but also for the strengthening of relationships in the sector, which could lead to new opportunities for collaboration between companies.
Collaboration with AMPP: A step into the future
The company is working closely with AMPP, which represents an important step in the advancement of monitoring technologies and the consolidation of a safer and more efficient industry. Carlos mentioned that the company is closing an agreement with AMPP that will undoubtedly make a significant difference in the corrosion monitoring process.
Looking to the future
With corrosion monitoring as a key priority, the company is emerging as a leader in the adoption of advanced technologies that ensure the longevity of its infrastructure and compliance with the highest safety standards. As the company continues its path towards innovation, its participation in key events in Brazil and South America, along with the collaboration with AMPP, opens new doors for the future of energy logistics in the region.
